A number of FHIR Terminology Service Operations have unique considerations when working with SNOMED CT
| Operation Name | Resource | Considerations |
|---|---|---|
| $validate-code | ValueSet | Further discussion by the SNOMED on FHIR working group can be read here: Implementing Terminology Services with SNOMED CT |
| $validate-code | CodeSystem | |
| $expand | ValueSet | |
| $lookup | CodeSystem | |
| $translate | ConceptMap | |
| $subsumes | CodeSystem | |
| $closure | ConceptMap | |
| $find-matches | CodeSystem | See Find Matches, however using the $expand operation with ECL will allow for more expressive querying. |
